No, but it will probably be easier to install as it is just to add the gcc-gnat DEB, RPM, SLP etc. package to the installation. Also I think that you will get a few more people who wonders what is gcc-gnat (or gcc-ada I don't know what it will be called) as they see it listed together with the gcc packages and check it out. At least I read a bit about object C after seeing that there was a gcc-objc package. And quite possibly you will have more linux distributions adding this package to the standard distribution. Keep up the excellent work! Preben Randhol
